Abstract. This paper dwells on maritime terminology and the relationships defining “oppositeness of meaning” in it. It briefly retraces some theoretical assumptions in the sphere of antonymy and offers a classification of antonyms from a morphological and semantic point of view. The examples given are excerpted from documented materials standardized and consistent within the area of shipping and discussed and systematized using the lexico-semantic method. The findings in
this study can be applicable when teaching English maritime terminology.

Keywords: Maritime English; terminological antonyms; features; types; teaching implications
